How files are handled

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about privacy, limits, and how PDFLines works.
JPG and PNG images within the size limit stay in this browser, so those images are not uploaded. If an image is over the limit and you agree, it is uploaded. Other tools upload files over HTTPS. Working files are removed after the job. Server outputs are deleted about one hour later, and a later cleanup pass removes anything still left. Download links expire after 15 minutes. That expiry closes the link. It is not the same as deleting the file. PDF to Word, PowerPoint, and Excel use Adobe PDF Services. We do not keep your documents as a long-term library, and we do not use their contents for analytics.
Most tools upload the file over HTTPS so the job can run. JPG and PNG images within the size limit stay in this browser unless you agree to upload an image that is over the limit. We do not keep a long-term copy. Working uploads are removed after the job. Server outputs are deleted about one hour later, with a later cleanup pass for anything still left. A PDF built in the browser is not stored on PDFLines servers. Download links expire after 15 minutes, which is separate from deleting the file.
No watermarks are added, and you do not need an account. Each tool has file-count, file-size, and sometimes page-count limits to keep processing reliable. Files outside those limits are rejected before or during validation.
Limits depend on the tool and are checked before processing. Most PDF tools currently accept one file up to 25 MB, while image and Office conversions may use lower limits. Check the message shown by the selected tool for the applicable limit.
PDFLines works best in modern desktop browsers like Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. It also runs on many tablets and mobile devices, but heavy tasks with large PDFs are more reliable on laptop or desktop computers.
No. PDFLines is free to use. There are no subscriptions, credit cards, or sign-ups required for the current set of tools. If we introduce paid features in the future, the core tools will remain available for free.
Yes, when that fits your own judgment and your company's policies. JPG and PNG images within the size limit can stay in this browser. If an image is over the limit and you agree, it is uploaded. Other tools upload files over HTTPS for the job, and PDF to Word, PowerPoint, and Excel use Adobe PDF Services. Upload work or client documents only when that matches your privacy requirements.
PDFLines lets you merge, split, compress, rotate, protect, and convert PDFs to and from Word, JPG, PNG, PowerPoint, and Excel. Add your file, choose the task, and download the result.
